 This was the goal of the last update to this port. The BUILD_DEPENDS
 relevant line is:
 ${LOCALBASE}/include/libnet/libnet-types.h:${PORTSDIR}/net/libnet-devel
 and libnet-types.h doesn't exist in libnet 1.0.2.
 I tried LIB_DEPENDS and couldn't make it know the difference between
 the libnets. Thanks for te heads-up, though. I verified it on my other port=
 s.
 
 Edwin, this PR can be closed now, thank you for listening. :)
